I enjoy using Yedda to ask and answer medical questions. I previously worked as a nurse but am now based from home - having just completed a long spell of breast cancer treatment.
Life has also been busy lately after the arrival of our new puppy called poppy. She's a black labarador retriever and drives us all crazy at times but we just adore the buzz she brings to the house. Last week she caused me a shoulder injury by tugging when out walking - but I can forgive that for the fun she brings.
Last month my husband invested in the Resperate device for lower blood pressure - and boy is it effective? We've discovered that it's much better overall to lower blood pressure naturally.
Other sites I like to visit are:

Anyone out there have advice about hernia follwing breast reconstruction? The hernia is in abdominal wound.
In general, all hernias should be repaired to avoid the possibility of future intestinal strangulation. If you have preexisting medical conditions that would make surgery unsafe, your doctor may not repair your hernia but will watch it closely. Rarely, your doctor may advise against surgery because of the special condition of your hernia.
Some hernias have or develop very large openings in the abdominal wall, and closing the opening is complicated because of its large size. These kinds of hernias may be treated without surgery, perhaps using abdominal binders. Some doctors feel that the hernias with large openings have a very low risk of strangulation.
The treatment of every hernia is individualized, and a discussion of the risks and benefits of surgical versus nonsurgical management needs to take place.
